callback :

called when the method call succeeds or fails;
may be NULL to make a "fire and forget" call with no
reply tracking

user_data :

user-supplied data passed to the callback;
must be NULL if callback is NULL

destroy :

called with the user_data as argument, after the
call has succeeded, failed or been cancelled;
must be NULL if callback is NULL

weak_object :

If not NULL, a GObject which will be
weakly referenced; if it is destroyed, this call
will automatically be cancelled. Must be NULL if
callback is NULL

Returns :

a TpProxyPendingCall representing the call in
progress. It is borrowed from the object, and will become
invalid when the callback is called, the call is
cancelled or the TpProxy becomes invalid.
